What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Hey all! john (the hubby of Jen) here and it's my turn to pick today's sweets. It's finally starting to get a bit chilly here in Florida (60 degrees! Brrr!), and that has me in the mood to post a few icy beauties.

correct me if I'm wrong, but some of the elements on the Bumble look like fondant, so it's not entirely fondant free, eh? I love the light, simple ADORE the ornaments, but that little deer? OH MY GOSH, so sweet.. there's no way I could eat it!

There seems to be no bounds to a good baker's imagination and creativity! Wonderful cakes!! I think I enjoy the Sweets even more than the Wrecks.

As for 60 degrees, I grew up in FL, I know and understand what you mean!! Don't let all those cold, cold Northerners get you down!! It all depends on what you're used to. Go have some hot chocolate or a hot toddy...the key word being HOT.

Okay, so the deer cake is adorable! However... I fail to see the "winter" connection. Unless it's "hunting season". Which I have nothing against, but it is a cute little baby deer, and I hope no one is hunting cute little baby deer. Which are born in the spring...

It WAS sixty degrees here a couple weeks ago-- now we have 20 degree highs and snow predicted this week. I hate that!

But I love that Bumble cake-- nuts and coconut-- like a big Almond Joy! These all look really cool, and I could get past the cuteness of that one to eat it, but not some of the others. I mean, if you've always been careful about not eating glass, well...just chew very carefully, that's all. :P

OK, it must be 27 degrees everywhere else except "chilly" Floriday, because it's 27 degrees in Omaha, too. And it's snowing. And with the wind chill, it feels like 20 degrees. Please post some sunshine cakes to warm us up!

The abominable snowman is the cutest. I didn't care for the bulb and electrical cord. It's very well done, but I'm just not comfortable with putting an electrical cord in my mouth. I'm having visions of electrocution by cake, unrealistic as that may be.
